Fixed in xamarin-macios/xcode8 9fe13aaa580e76997778c0ca7945718dba4dd323

This solves both the simulator and device support issue.

It's possible to download a newer `mlaunch` from [1] and replace it inside XS to get device support working, e.g.

> cp mlaunch "/Applications/Xamarin Studio.app/Contents/Resources/lib/monodevelop/AddIns/MonoDevelop.IPhone/mlaunch.app/Contents/MacOS"

Comment 3 Vincent Dondain [MSFT] 2016-08-16 09:01:14 UTC 
@sebastien looks like you pasted the old mlaunch address (link is broken). Here's the new one: http://bosstoragemirror.blob.core.windows.net/public-builder/mlaunch-307d345a06bd3f13994877ee5a4f316f5e6a7940
Comment 4 Sebastien Pouliot 2016-08-16 11:55:47 UTC 
@Vincent, yes I pasted the wrong/old link. That's for updating :)

Comment 6 Mohit Kheterpal 2016-08-17 16:56:17 UTC 
Today, I have checked this issue with XamarinStudio-6.1.0.5345.dmg fc3ab7c0cc891ef8c9867558d026257fc4654758 and /xamarin.ios-9.99.3.8 9eca87665af46375758b14e3b2622122b9cb6032 with Xcode 8 Beta 6 and observed that this issue is fixed, now we are able to build and deploy application on device and simulator successfully.

Hence closing this issue.

thanks
Comment 7 Mike Berlin 2016-10-27 22:08:14 UTC 
With Xcode 8.1 release this is also happening. I get the following error when trying to deploy to device or run the simulator (I have tried Stable, Beta, and Alpha channels all with the same error):

/Applications/Xamarin Studio.app/Contents/Resources/lib/monodevelop/AddIns/MonoDevelop.IPhone/mlaunch.app/Contents/MacOS/mlaunch -sdkroot "/Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Developer" -installdev "<path to my bin directory for the project>" --device ios "--devname=iPad"

error HE0003: Could not load the framework 'libswiftos.dylib' (path: /Applications/Xcode.app/Contents/Frameworks/libswiftos.dylib): not found.

Application could not be uploaded to the device.

Let me know if I can provide any further info.
